The Desmond missions proved to be some of the original Assassin’s Creed games’ most controversial elements. While some fans appreciated the bigger narrative, which tied the different games in the series together under one narrative structure, others found them kind of boring. After all, scuttling around basements and talking to flustered scientists isn’t as exciting as diving off of rooftops and stabbing bad guys with concealed weapons. Ubisoft clearly agrees: while Assassin’s Creed IV tried to branch out with a series of new Desmond-less scenes set in a covert Templar game development company (seriously), Assassin’s Creed Unity dropped the modern elements almost entirely....

The Commanders beat the Jaguars in Week 1 but haven’t been able to win since. The Bears’ two wins have come against the 49ers and Texans, both at home. Carson Wentz is under fire as the Commanders’ new starter. Justin Fields is at a crossroads as a second-year QB. Here’s everything to know about betting on Commanders vs. Bears in Week 6, including updated odds, trends and our expert’s prediction for “Thursday Night Football....

At first blush, this is about a Muslim nation trying to come to terms with its secular-religious divide. Opposition secularists have long warned Turkey’s governing AK Party (AKP) against electing one of its leaders as president, saying they are “Islamists” and unfit for the Palace. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan simply said he would continue following the rules–like any good democrat. Finally, he nominated his longtime friend, colleague and political rival, Abdullah Gul....

Cancer Pain Sources Cancer pain comes in many different forms, but the most important thing to remember is not every person fighting cancer has pain. If you do become uncomfortable, the most likely culprits might include: A deep, aching pain from compression of your organs or tissues (metastatic tumors can cause this pressure). Skin or nerve ending pain — usually in your feet or hands — is a common side effect of some chemotherapy agents....

Parents may be more cautious as a result of some high-profile reports about possible drug side effects, which has likely helped to get everyone’s attention, including: Singulair (montelukast) and a possible association with behavior/mood changes, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and suicide. Tamiflu (oseltamivir) and a variety of neurologic and behavioral symptoms, including hallucinations, delirium, and abnormal behavior. Antidepressants and the increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior in children and adolescents being treated with antidepressant medications....

The Indian contingent is being sponsored and taken care of by the Edelweiss Financial Services Limited.

Senate Bill 8, a so-called “heart rate bill,” prohibits all abortions in the state if medical professionals can detect a fetal heartbeat, something that can occur after just six weeks when most women do not know they are pregnant. The legislation came into effect on September 1 after the Supreme Court voted 5-4 to deny an emergency appeal brought by abortion rights advocates to block its enforcement. Popular Information, a newsletter that details companies that donate to politicians backing certain causes, has named a number of corporations that have given significant amounts of money to the primary co-sponsors of Senate Bill 8....

Another recent game that also had to deal with this is Marvel’s Avengers, which received some criticism for its repetitive endgame content. Both of these titles were published by Square Enix, and are relative newcomers to the looter subgenre. They also both focus heavily on their story campaigns, which is a fairly unusual approach in the genre. However, despite these similarities, the two titles approach endgame content very differently. The question is, which one does a better job of keeping players engaged?...

But unlike past appearances of the bird trio that tend to stay fundamentally the same with each new generation that they showed up in, Pokemon Sword and Shield continued with the recent trend of regional forms that mainly started with the fictional Alola region. With the most recent main-series installment, Galarian Pokemon are abundant in the wild. RELATED: Galarian Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres Shinies Revealed for Pokemon Sword and Shield...

In recent years, Rockstar Games has succeeded in creating virtual worlds that offer visually rich environments and true to life characters. This is most apparent in Red Dead Redemption 2, where players can roam with a gang of outlaws comprised of more than twenty individuals. Although mannerisms, style, and even type of walk play important roles in the makeup of a protagonist or NPC, nothing gives them more of a personal touch than their own unique voice and way of speaking....

However, Dying Light eventually turned heads with its unique parkour emphasis, its day/night cycle gameplay, and its impressive visuals. The game’s unique zombies and monsters were also a key highlight of the experience, and the sequel, Dying Light 2: Stay Human, seems as though it’s going to expand on this element tenfold. RELATED: Dying Light 2: Stay Human’s Parkour and Combat Are Big Improvements The Dying Light 2 Zombie Life Cycle Dying Light 2 is introducing an infected “life cycle” in the game, meaning that each zombie encountered in the game is in one, or has evolved from, a specific stage....

It marked the end of an era of Australia’s domination in ODI cricket. Three consecutive World Cup titles and two Champions Trophy wins in 12 years. The nineties were the best time to be an Aussie fan. The modern-day invincibles tore through many oppositions one after another. However, one team managed to lock horns with the mighty Australians and even beat the Aussies on their day. Graeme Smith’s South Africa were David to the Australian Goliath....

In July, researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute found heparin was just as effective at blocking SARS-CoV-2 infection in cells than remdesivir, an antiviral that received emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat COVID-19 back in May. While heparin is FDA-approved to prevent blood clots, remdesivir isn’t officially FDA-approved for any condition. “We’re learning how to block viral infection, and that is knowledge we are going to need if we want to rapidly confront pandemics,” Jonathan Dordick, PhD, lead researcher and a professor of chemical and biological engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute says in a news release....
